delizin: remove the $ from the dash

$ means the end of the regex.

abara: Aha! That is what I was missing

delizin: when using "include" the $ only needs to be putted on the urls.py inside the app

delizin: ;)

delizin: try to organize the URL on a grown order down-to-top

this can avoid some possible problems on the resolution.

just when I thought i was understanding django I get another error I don't understand. help? http://awesomescreenshot.com/01059yjfd5 https://dpaste.de/xDOs

why are you doing that work in dispatch ,surfnturf ?

um because i thought thats where it should be done?

isn't dispatch the first thing that happens?

i want to stop unauthorized access at the beginning

(a) why not a DetailView ?

Sure I could. But I'm just rendering a template so I thought templateview easy

which it wasnt

(b) why not filter in the get_object_or_404?

DetailView renders a template

how do i filter in the get_obj_or404

actually i want to later move this into the base views

so i can protect all of them

all views that is

ok detailview works

i'm not sure what the diff is but i guess i can read the docs

ok i have to read all the docs about those. thx

could i put that get_object in the base view?

if it's shared, sure

but it wouldn't work for TemplateView it seems

that PermittedViewMixin seems pointless

why not just use LoginRequiredMixin directly?

yeah I don't know why the other guy did that

maybe he's putting in permissions later?

well, no, TemplateView doesn't know you want it to get an object

ok thats what i figure

he? this isn't your code?

thats the exception

no not all my code

i'm working with a few other guys and there also legacy code

ok

surfnturf: did someone say legacy?

abara: yes

are you guys on cobol?

no

ah

heh

lol

I'm sure you all heard of my client who wrote a web site in cobol?

thank god for that

aw man. i almost smelled a job

FunkyBob: fastes site ever?

well... it was hampered by their lack of underestanding HTML, HTTP, and refusal to use cookies

but what they'd done was impressive

.-.

Should the save method of a model ever throw a validation error?

pyjacker: no

can't even imagine the whole code. too much to my brain

pyjacker: unless your whole codebase accepts that contract

FunkyBob: I'm getting invalid syntax on your lack of *args. https://dpaste.de/Oqpd#L12,18

typo... remove the extra comma

it's pretty quiet

\o/

i'm trying to sum the number of times a particular CharField[choices] appears in my model

e.g. i have a User model, and each user has a location (which is a CountryField - so they look like this: {'location': u'AU'})

i thought this would do it, players.values_list('location', flat=True).annotate(the_count=Count('location'))

but it's just listing all of the values (rather than Count-ing them)

So I've been doing research for a couple of hours and can't find a way to do the following: I just want to override the save method for a model and everytime one ImageField is updated, I want to create a thumbnail and save it in another ImageField

Right now I can detect when the field has changed, that's no issue

frog3r: you've pretty much described the solution in your question :)

shangxiao: I know I'm almost there haha, thing is, I'm using a remote storage solution

shangxiao: so most of the code I find doesn't work because it looks for local os.path's for the files

shangxiao: what I wanted to know is, how can I pass the reference to the file so that I can create a smaller one, and if I'm lucky, you guys know specific library that could help me

I found this code to create the thumb, but it uses the os.path thing: https://gist.github.com/valberg/2429288

hi where do I declare my static files path? I know on settings.py but how do I show them on the DTL?

limbera: players.objects.values('location').annotate(the_count=Count('location'))

limbera: Maybe

JZA: you have two options: one is to use the {% static %} tag documented here:

delizin: i had tried that, it just gives me a lot of repeating 1 values for the_count

e.g. {'the_count': 1, 'location': u'AU'}

ad infinitum

JZA: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/sta...

limbera: Well that isn'

limbera: isn't very helpful

yeh :-(

the other not much recommended way is to type: <img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}folder/file.extension"

frog3r: ok

althought I do have my images on MEDIA folder

MEDIA_URL

if its on the media its easier: if you have object.image

you can just write

{{object.image.url}}

or {{object.file.url}}

btw are those names arbitrary? or can I just namethem IMAGES and HTML?

you mean STATIC_URL and MEDIA_URL ?

yeah

Ig uess the folders can be whatever, I woner if the variables can be too.

they are django settings, so the DTL is importing them for you

ok

if you create another name, you'll have to create a custom tag, as the new names won't be in the context

is there a difference also between static/ and static-only/?

I've honestly never seen the second

frog3r: usually when doing collectstatic it will send everything to static-only

maybe is the guy's setup

JZA: yes, collectstatic destination folder is set with the STATIC_ROOT django setting

ok

he might have STATIC_ROOT set to /static-only/

and add the /static/ folder in STATICFILES_DIRS

any recommendations on the thumbs thing?

what thumbs thing?
